I'm not really sure what to say or think, but I'm sure there are archaeologists looking at the Sphinx.

Apparently their 4 year old soon has quantum physics knowledge, and is a Martian. He also predicts nuclear war soon, and says the Sphinx contains the secret of life and has an opening mechanism behind the ear.

OK, that is just weird. Time to get behind the Sphinx's ear.

I think the knowledge of ancient civilizations from Earth, and the Quantum physics thing is why they assume he is telling the truth.

Yes, because "Ourstrangeworld.net" is clearly a trusted source of the utmost journalistic integrity.

I'm not claiming it as trustworthy, or accurate. It was merely amusing.

“It has six layers. The upper layer of solid metal accounts for 25 percent, the second layer of rubber – 30 percent, the third layer of metal – 30 percent, and the last layer with magnetic properties – 4 percent. If we give energy to the magnetic layer, spaceships will be able to fly across the Universe.”
Err... How is this the mark of a genius? He says there are 6 layers, talks about 4, those 4 add up to 89%, and he explains the propulsion mechanism as "If we give energy to the magnetic layers, spaceships will be able to fly across the universe"??

Sounds like an overactive imagination to me, possibly deranged, and no where in there can I see anything I would call "Detailed explaination of UFO's and how they work"

Some people will buy into anything. Maybe the kid is from Mars, but I can't say i'd believe him even if he was.

If he were that smart, he'd have started a religion around him already and became a gazillionaire.

Whatever... men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Everyone knows that.

To be fair, pushing electricity through magnets is how bullet trains work. It is a completely legitimate propulsion system.

I don't buy into the story, but the kid is really smart for his age, and seems to be creating quite the buzz where he's from

This is not how bullet trains work. Bullet trains run on regular track. I believe you are thinking of Maglev trains, which use electromagnets to float above a track, but they still require a track to work. You couldn't use Maglev technology to make anything fly.

Also, they don't work by 'pushing electricity through a magnet'. They work by pushing electricity through a coil of wire, which creates a magnetic field.
